Mmmmmm!

At my precious Skippy's request, I made these Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for him. He found the recipe, believe it or not, on the underside of the oatmeal container lid. What ever made him look there is beyond me. lol

So, here they are, in all there DELICIOUSNESS!

For this recipe, you will need:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I added a pinch more)
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups quick or old fashioned, uncooked oats
1 cup raisins

1. Heat oven to 350*F
2. Beat together margarine and sugars until creamy
3. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well
4. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well
5. Stir in oats and raisins; mix well
6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet
7. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown
8. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack
9. ENJOY!!

Yields approximately 4 dozen (this will vary depending on size of dough used)
